The sixth lesson contains pretty story
 about the transformation of the cocoon into
 the butterfly. The caterpillar is represented
 by the thumb, to which peculiar serpentine
 motion is given. Number seven, "A Little
 Boys Walk" tells of the things seen by a
 little fellow during morning ramble. The
 revolving mill wheel, the tall church steeple,
 bridge spanning the river, the birds flying
 above the tree tops-these and many other
 things are all illustrated in realistic way.
 No. 8, "All for Baby" a lesson designed for
 the very young, has been enjoyed and appar-
 ently comprehended, Miss Poulsson said, by
 baby only ten months old. No. is 'The
 Squirrel" and No. 10 "The Sparrow" both
 of them bright and entertaining to the children. No. II relates the ad- ventures of five little mice. The last of the series has Santa Claus for it's subject. The old story of the reindeer and the descent down the chimney is told in graphic yet simple way. Miss Poulsson's explanation of her plays was followed with interest by the teachers, who took notes for future guidance. The practical object of these elessons-impart- ing Knowledge to the children concerning all the subjects touched upon-was we'll brought out. These nursery plays are now appearing

Discussion of Means and Methods by
 the Association-MIss Al Poulsson's n-
 vent1on-NeVv Haven Teachers.
 Between thirty and forty members of the Kindergarten association, including repre- sentatives from New York, New Haven, Wa terbury, New Britain, Springfield and North ampton as well as from Hartford, met in convention at the West Middle school in the latter city last Saturday. The Courant says Of the meeting: The morning session was devoted to 8 discussion of the Ginger plays" invented by Miss A. E.. Poulsson of Boston, whose exposition was greatly en- joyed by all present.
 Miss Poulsson's invention is @ work of genius for the kindergarten and comprises a series of twelve lessons. one for each month. which, while they sing, the children illus trate with their fingers. The first is play called ''Little Men," the youths in question being the ten fingers on tho hands of each little pupil. The verses have merry jingle and teach the children that ''Upon each hand little band for work or play is ready" The second les son is "The Lambs" To exemplify the manner of illustration, when the children sing ''This is the meadow where all the long day Ten little froIicsome lambs are at play" the outstretched arms inclose an imaginary pdSLuL6. 4AGh AonA AS IfAO in which the farmer brings the corn meal; the two hands form trough from which they drink-''then scamper off," The interlaced fingers are the rack "where in winter they feed, hay makes good dinner indeed" The hands folded tight E1ake ''the barn where they all sleep at night" The third les son is s'The Hen and Chickens" The closed left hand, with forefnger raised, perched on the open right hand, is the semblanee Of the hen upon her nest. Next comes 'tThe Little Plant," a very pretty conceit. With the fin gers the children form a rake, SOW the seed ,. and, as the poem proceeds, illustrate the va rious operations of gardening.
 The fifth lesson, ''The Pigs" is perhaps the most entertaining of all and contains a tragedy. The thumbs represent the pigs and the way they keep their identity throughout the play, peering through the bars (the open fngers) and scampering around the pen Gan enclosure made by the arms), is truly re- markable. Following is the sad story of
Morning journal and courier., 1887-05-24

 Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee, Hungry pigs as pigs could be, For their dinner had to wait Down behind the barn-yard gate. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee Climbed the barn-yard gate to see, Peeping through the gate so high, But no dinner could they spy. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee Got down sad as pigs could be; But the gate soon opened wide And they scampered forth outside. Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee, What was their delight to see Dinner ready not far off Such full and tempting trough! Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee. Greedy pigs as pigs could be, For their dinner ran pell-mell; In the trough both piggies fell.

and there was nobody to take charge
But, speaking for myself and the resi-
as far as / could soc, we were about
used up, and, sailor-l.ke, couldn't sec
any chance of saving ourselves or being
saved. Then, of sudden, through the
driving murk and spray, comes an En-.
glish life-boat that had been towed
from somewheres nigh Plymouth by
one of those little sidewheel iron
steamers that we Americans make fun
of sometimes.
The brig was breaking up aft fast,
but the lifeboat managed to get under
the bows and somehow get q line to
the cathead, and I'll say this-I never
saw such work done before or since,
for the ebbing tide made q sea that
was perfectly awful.
1t was the parson who was first to
see the signals from the lifeboat's cox
swain, and out he went on the stump
of the bowsprit with coil of the Jill
halyards.
Now then. boys" he sung out, and
while we made our way out and one
by ono slipped down into tho boat, he
got aft, dragged old King, who was
half dead with fright, for'ard, and
lowered him down.
Come on, parson," we roared to-
gether, as we saw him dive down tho
fore peak. "Let that drunken Boxer
drownp
But Mr.. Venn wasn't that kind of a
man. Next thing we saw he had Boxer,
who was dazed and stupid like, haul
ing him out on the bowsprit. Then he
put the jib halyards in Boxers hands.
and down Boxer came in heap in the
bottom of the boat
But no one paid attention to him.
One of those awful green-cresting seas,
higher than the foremast head, came
sweeping down to wind'ard of the brig.
"Hold on all!" was the cry, and only
for the lifeboat being one of those self
righting and self-relieving ones, I
wouldn't be here telling this yarn.
We hung to the ife-lines along the
gunwale as she capsized, but the
ward shore. Befofne the 5reafsfssR 5sa R&ds
reached they righted the boat, and we
were dragged up on the beach more
dead than alive.
The parson! We never saw him again.
Mr.. King only said, in feeble sort Of
way, after he knew the truth, some
thing about "laying down ones life for
friend" But did Mr.. King mean him
self or did he mean Boxer, whom per-
haps Mr.. Venn had known as some one
else?
l only know this--Mr. Venn preached
the biggest missionary sermon on rec
ord, the night of March 13, 1872.
